a superior idea of her beauty to any portrait by Bronzino ; it is 
supposed to be the work of Bernardo di Castel Bolognese, for 
Cardinal Farnese ; there is also the likeness of Margaret of 
Austria, Governess of the Netherlands, and aunt of Charles 
V. Bernardo died in 1555. 
A splendid collection of camei and intagli, formerly belong. 
ing to Mr. William Curry, of East Horsley, Surrey, who resided 
many years in Italy, and died at Nice in 1863, were bequeathed 
by him to the Tuscan capital. There is as yet no published 
catalogue ; and the gems are placed in cases so far removed 
from the window that it is impossible to form any opinion of 
their excellence. 
Among the valuable cameos, Case XVIII. No. 3, repre- 
senting Luna in a Biga, is an excellent work. 
No. 6, a woman filling a vase at a fountain, is also a very 
beautiful gem. 
No. 10, a Bacchante, a fine antique fragment, and supposed 
to be the copy of a work by Scopas. 
No. 18, a very fine antique cameo of a youthful Hercules, 
set in diamonds ; the ears are crushed like those of the Boxers 
in the Circus, and the demigod thus represented was called 
Herakles Pancratiastes, or Hercules the Boxer. 
No. 31, a female mask on a turquoise. 
No. 34, a fragment restored in gold ; a very fine work and 
admirably finished, of a Nereid on a Sea-horse. 
No. 42, the bust of a female, probably a portrait. 
Among the intagli of the Curry collection are many 
Etruscan scarabei, or gems cut in the form of a beetle. 
No. 208, a carnelian mask of very fine work. 
No. 233, a pale ruby with the head of a beardless warrior, 
simple in form, but fine in character. 
No. 337, an amethyst : Atropos, a Greek work. 
The Cavaliere Migliarini had finished the catalogue in MS. jus 
before his death in 1865.
